So I figured just in case I randomly have someone wander in (most likely from J-music media) I should mention that pretty much everything on here is F-locked, because frankly the rest of the world doesn't need to listen to me prattle on to myself on a daily basis. But if for some ridiculous reason ranting about Visual Kei or books or anything else that comes to mind seems interesting to you comment and I'll add you.

I do not expect this to be a common occurrence.

Visual Band Assocation Baton
Write the name of the visual band that you most associate with the statement.

�� Has intense fans
VanessA [but not in a bad way ^^]

�� A band that you want to revive
Hurts

VanessA, Julius, and O_dble

�� Your favourite band right now
VanessA

�� A band that used to be your favourite
Phantasmagoria

�� A band that's 'riding the wave' (successful)
... um ... D'espairsRay

�� I think it's good that they're already popular
Chariots

�� My recommendation
VanessA

�� Most or all the members are good looking
VanessA

�� The opposite of the above question
... oh what is that bands name ... damn I can't find their flier ... well whoever they were they were ... very not attractive ... like maybe the bassist might have been attractive if he wasn't wearing a fur corset >.> ... yeah ... and then at that same show there was some other band that was ... just hideous also forget the name of but one of the guys has his face painted blue, black and white >.> The music was pretty crappy as well ... so they were losing on both ends of the spectrum ><

�� Hurtful fans
... mmm ... Kaya's appear rather stuck up but they ended up being pretty nice. Thankfully, I've yet to run into a band with particularly evil fans ... run into some not so pleasant random ones but none as a group.

�� Nice fans
VanessA ... though one of them intimidates the hell out of me *laughs* she's still nice though

�� Must buy their releases
VanessA

�� Frankly, I'm already tired of them
...The GazettE [though I've been getting less tired of them lately]

�� They've been on my mind lately
... VanessA

�� Has a good relationship with their fans
VanessA [really the only band I've observed fan/band relationships from]

�� I don't hear good things about them
... can't think of any

�� Seems like they'll disband soon
... no clue ... bands breaking up always seem to take me by surprise

�� Lots of people cosplay them
The GazettE [by lots do we mean like every cosplayer in Tokyo? o.O]

From Shattered-Tranquility.net's Monthly Meme! July 2008 Edition II.

I think I'm biased ... >.> how many of those answers are VanessA? *laughs*

So I leave for Tokyo tomorrow. 25 1/2 hours to be exact, but .................... forget that!! I'm going to see X JAPAN in September!!!! September 13th they will play Madison Square Gardens and I will be there!!!!!!!! *jumps around excitedly*

This is so awesome!!! *grins like mad* I can't wait!!!!

So this past weekend mistressyoukai and myself went on a Midi:Nette & ex-Midi:Nette binge (which includes Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, Schwarz Stein, Kaya, Hora, Kozi, Tetsu (Nil), Gackt, Klaha, and Juka.

Kai decided it would be cool to start a Live Journal community devoted to discussing and keeping up with all the bands and artists that are or have been closely tied to Mana-sama. And I of course jumped on board ^_^ as it sounds like a brilliant idea as Malice Mizer alone has provided plenty to think and talk about.

Out of all that was born midienslaved! Which we didn't sleep in order to set it up ^_^ not that that's unusually for me...

We want this to be an open discussion anything related to any of the bands is allowed and news on any is welcomed as well. So far we don't have anything up yet other than my playing with the layout and graphics, but as I just finished watching Verte Aile and Bara no Konrei and Merveilles L'escape I'm sure I'll be sharing my thoughts on them xD ... oh the Literature brat in me is enjoying the references in those movies way too much ...

I'm not really sure how many of you on my F-List would be interested since I'm pretty sure you're all largely PSC kids, but thought I'd throw it out there!

Check it out! I like my blue ... haha ... it's pretty ^_^ and the Mood Theme is awesome 

X Japan's PV for Celebration is ... just ... wow ... XDDDDDDDD I was laughing so hard there were tears streaming down my face ... Relish in the terrible 1980's ness of it XD ... Love how Pata is just wandering around drinking constantly (mmm easy since he needs no acting to do that ... *cough*damndrunk*cough*) and wtf is with Fairy Godmother/Good Witch Hide! XD and Yoshiki in a tiara and a coach XD hahaha man this is pure win! 

But seriously ... I think they saw Twisted Sister's 'We're not gonna take it' a few too many times XD

Do you know where you will be May 6th? Because I just found out where I will be! ... so... some of you might remember me lamenting the fact that Versailles' first one man show would be the day after I got to Tokyo (April 6th) ... well as it turns out I was wrong! It's May 6th!!! Which means I might be able to go!! That gives me a month to figure out how the fuck to buy tickets... cuz it couldn't possible just be easy and there be a online thing... *sigh* But! I'll figure it out! Because have to see them! Of all the bands Versailles is the one that I am dying to see live. I don't think I can even begin to explain how happy I am about this! I'm trying so hard to not just completely flip out >.< *points at eyes* Look! I'm all teary eyed!! *laughs*

Seriously, I think I might be the happiest chick in the US right now... haha ... I was all sleepy and now I'm wide awake!!

Yay! I'm happy! One I like X-mas at my house because it means that my brother and I sit around do what we usually do! Play Video games or MUD (woot! Triple XP!) or play online... he's actually currently working on rebuilding their old MUD (he thinks he's special and got to be an IMMORTAL .. basically the same thing as a mod or admin for you girls who have no idea what I'm talking about, but he gets to build and code stuff ^^). Yeah ... we are such dorks... and just for the record I guess you should understand that this internet addiction thing isn't new for any of us. We just are addicted in spurts. Ah X-mas brings back many memories avoiding my family and leveling my characters ^^ once took us only a week to get my female channeler up to level 25 a few years back ... ok more like? 7 years back? that was the last time I was a hardcore MUDer ... lol alright no more reminiscing ^^

But mostly I'm happy! because Kisaki announced today that the one night Phantasmagoria Revival will happen!! On August 31, 2008 in Tokyo!! (at least I think it's in Tokyo he hasn't announced all the details yet) And I am really upset that I'm missing it by 2 months!!! 2 months!! That's it!! *cries* I want to go so bad!! You all know how much I love them... *giggles* maybe... maybe! I can figure out a way to be there!! I'd spend a few thousand to see them! lol

Like some other girl said today "There is a god! And his name is Kisaki." mwuhahaha So we haven't lost our god of VK for good ^^

Anyways! Have a good Holiday! And ... at least pretend to enjoy it ... *points at self* Even I'm finding reasons to enjoy it ^^ and I was hating this holiday!

You know where I will be on March 22??!!

No, I won't be sitting at home lamenting the fact that I'm missing Hurts' first one man by 2 and 1/2 weeks (though I am still pissed about this xD). I will not be packing to leave for Japan in 2 weeks. I will also not be working!!

I will! be in Atlanta at Taste of Chaos!! To see D'espairsRay and MUCC!!! That my dears is where I will be!! Oh yes... what a lovely birthday for me!! Not only do I get to leave to go to Japan about a week after my birthday but 4 days before it I get to go see bands I love!! *wipes tears* Who knew this year would be so good!

Now if only Dir en grey would show up before I leave... but that seems unlikely...
